The supreme court Of the territory Of
New Mexico has iust decided that gov
ernor of territory has no authority to
remove officers appointed by himself
and confirmed by the Legislative council
The court in this case is not in accord
with the Legislature of Dakota, which
has just conferred upon our governor
authority to remove members of the
various commissions with which Dakota
is adorned if they fail to walk the mark,
With the supreme court of New Mexico
to lean against it is probable that most
any one of the Dakota appointees would
make judicial fight against decapita.

Delegate Clifford writes us from
Canton:
saw in one or two papers that there
we're doubts about the Yapkton bridge
bill being signed. 1t was signed on the
morning OF March 4th TO my certain
knowledge.
We have been told by other parties
cogizant OF the facts that Delegate Gift
ford took the Yankton bridge bill and
the Pierre bridge bill to the white house
himself, procured an audience with the
president and remained with him until
he had placed his autograph upon the
two bills. But for Delegate Gifford't
staying quantities it is probable thai
neither of these Dakota measures would
have received the attention Of the ex.
ecutive.

1t is just little odd that legislature

extravagant the territory has ever known.

Besides being odd it is also sad. If q

to what source shall we look for relief ?
Possibly the public will yet have to fell
back upon newspaper men for genuine,
downright honesty and economy. The
latter virtue is theirs by inheritance and
subsequent necessity.

The Western Settlers Chosen Specific

With every advance of emigration into the
far West, new demand ID created for Hcatet-
ter's Stomach Bitters. Newly peopled regions
are frequently less salubrious than older set
tied localities, on account of the miaamA which
rises from recently cleared land. particularly
along the banks of rivers that arc subject to
freshets. The agricultural or mining emigrant
soon learns, when he does not already knoY
that the Bitters afford the only auTe proteotioIi
against malaria. and those disordtyn of the
stomach, liver and bowels, to which climate
healthy, water or diet subject him. Con.

For City Justice
TRUMAN L. PRATT.

Te tie Voters of YanktOn.
The undersigned, acting under in
structions from the citizens committee.
submit to the electors of Yankton the
following statement OF the reasons which
induced the nomination OF the ticket
now before the public:
There has been for some time very
generally expressed feeling that in the
election of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel
ing has been increased and intensified
by the evident tad results, in. some
recent cases, produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. 1t is be-
lieved that intelligent men of all parties
are unanimous in the opinion that char
aeter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter
mine the selection of officers to admin.
lister our local affairs. Manifestly there
is need, at all times, in the conduct OF
olty affairs. of integrity, prudence,
sagacity and enterprise, qualities which

asplrant for office, by the fact
that he has large political following.
These considerations are especially for
cible at this time, when our city gov
ernment is liable to be called upon to
deal with questions of great commercial
Importance to us all. At such time we
can not afford to assume any risk that
the important interests of this communi.
ty may be committed TO hands that are
either feeble or nntrnstworthy.
Acting upon these reasons, an honest
effort has been made to avoid that risk
by putting in nomination ticket, in
support of which all can unite, and
which carries upon its face the assurance
OF q wise snd public spirited administra-
tion Of public affairs in the ensuing
year.
